Depends on what type of finish it has mainly..if it's gloss top, just regular guitar polish is fine.. i'm not sure, but lemon juice may have too much acidity for a guitar top and could be harmful

Order some silicone free guitar polish from StewMac (http://www.stewmac.com). It's good stuff. A lot of regular guitar polishes contain silicone which can be a big problem after years of use. Use a little dab of that stuff and some elbow grease every once in awhile and the guitar should look great.
